Spent the evening watching The Hangover. Ok, not the movie that makes you want to go out and save the world afterwards, but hey, who cares!! Classic moment when Mike Tyson is playing Phil Collins on the piano! Well worth the DVD-money...

At Rimi yesterday I bought the dvd "En helt vanlig dag på jobben" for no other reason than that movie seemed to be the best one (which again says a lot about the other movies I admit). Anyhow, we spent one and a half hour watching it. Did not make me want to go out and save the world in any way, but as a time consumer on a Friday evening with the kids in bed, just perfect. And Ingar Helge Gimle is superb as SvenO

Anders doing some heavy duty transportation at home, kinda funny so I had to take a picture of it

Brought both my MTB's along when visiting my in-laws this weekend to do some maintenance. Both bikes needed a good washing and some maintenance. First I had to take care of my commuter bike, I was unable to apply enough tension to it using the tension seeker. According to the user manual the best way to apply tension is upwards, but when I mounted the single speed kit earlier this year the chain was so long that it was not possible, so the chain had to run underneath the tension wheel. But now the chain had been stretched so much that I was not able to apply tension downwards either. So only solution was to cut the chain, a bit uncertain when doing that because I had to cut away two cufflinks which is about two cm as the picture shows.

The chain had to be of the cog in order for me to lock it together, but when done I could just put the chain in place by spinning the pedals like I did on my old bike when a boy and afterwards apply tension to it. So now as you can see, all according to the manual

Noticed when cleaning the chain to my Kona-bike that it was a bit damaged. A bit uncertain right now if I need to change the cassette as well because of this, must find out how to figure that out. The cufflink in the middle is damaged the most, the one to the right has got its share of beating as well, and the one to the left is as it should be

Went to the movies yesterday to see Inception together with my brother Jonas (hopefully he will not be harmed by the fact that he is to young to see it :-) ). Two and a half hours packed with excitement I must say. Jonas summarized with saying "I enjoyed it, in it's own way it was not to unreal"...and skipping some logical issues, he is totally right. An evening well worth spending in the movie theater!

Had to mowe the lawn today, but also take care of Anders, what else to do than have him on my back...more than 15 kilos extra.

Nursemaid's elbow, Babysitter's elbow or Pulled elbow is a dislocation of the elbow joint caused by a sudden pull on the extended pronated arm, such as by an adult tugging on an uncooperative child. The technical term for the injury is radial head subluxation

While passing a crosswalk Anders was not as cooperative as I wanted, and combined with the fact that a bus was approaching us I grabbed his arm and pulled him over to the other side. He then started to cry a bit and seemed uncomfortable. I then carried him home and realized when he got undressed that his left arm was just hanging straight down. We headed straight for the emergency ward where we immediately got help. The doctor spent about a minute or two figuring out what had happened, then he spent just 5 seconds and voila...just like magic the arm was fixed and just a minute afterwards Anders was climbing around on everything like nothing had happened.

Must admit that I felt like a very bad parent having caused him such an injury, but then again I was calmed down at the emergency ward when the doctor told me that this was a very common injury and that at least Anders was better of with the injury than being hit by a bus...puhh!!

1000 lightnings pr. hour last night. I was just about to go to bed around midnight when the action started. I tried to catch it with my camera, but that was no easy task. The first picture is taken towards downtown Oslo from home. As you can see I should have used my tripod, anyhow, the second picture show how much light the lightnings created.

Did you recognize the title of the post? Bohemian Rhapsody

Yesterday me, Anders and my sister Ingrid headed down from Mosjøen towards Oslo. Started out at 10 o'clock in the morning, not sure how far we would get. But including at least six stops, including dinner at IKEA in Trondheim, we got all the way to Oslo just around midnight. Not bad, since Anders still is just a bit more than two years old. He was bored at the end, but then again, he could have spent more than two hours sleeping instead of looking for tractors, excavators and other things with engines.

Rainbow just around Koppang

Me and Iver out on a mission!!

Take out the Spanish Slug!
